Certain days are just so busy, we don’t have a chance to take a breath.

After sleeping 11 hours last night, I think my brain is finally clear enough to process yesterday.

Another day with W at work. A team of 3 – until Helper #2 missed their alarm. Yeah, I texted. I called 27 times with no answer. On the way to the market, Helper #1 and I decided we’d have to adjust the menu and psyched ourselves up on the monumental task of setting up the booth. GIRL POWER!!!

But we did it. We got the entire booth built, the electrical cords ran, the equipment set up, the food to temp, the griddle fired up, the sign updated, etc. We did it! Then the whistle blew and the day began. We had a beautiful day – a little cloudy, a little chilly (nice when you’re set up on asphalt) and a great crowd.

#2 showed up 90 minutes in and the regular menu was back on. We enjoyed the morning of people watching, talking with everyone, seeing the cute kids and dogs, and we made it through the day. We decided where we wanted to eat – always a popular topic. We tore it all down and went to lunch. Cold water, air conditioning, and tasty food while we relaxed. Ice cream after and our day was complete.

I drove each helper home. Once I got home I washed my face, put on comfy clothes, and relaxed. Everything else could wait until tomorrow (today as I write this). We went to bed early and I slept for 11 hours – much needed. I unloaded things today and have been going all day.

I’m thankful to have this day to recover and get things done. I’m thankful for an extra day off tomorrow and for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to make sure we still have our freedom.

Until next week… do your best with the knowledge you have, with the best of intentions and be kind.
